Premium Format Catwoman (Batman Returns)

Thank you guys so much! She's so gorgeous it's pretty much impossible to take a bad picture of her

As for the head on mine, if you press it with the intention of moving it, it will shift position, but in its 'correct' position on the neck it stays there with no problem... moving or nudging the statue doesn't affect the head position or cause it to fall off. I think they definitely could have adjusted the magnet position or just used a stronger one to improve the attachment, and I can see why on some pieces there could be a loose connection between the head and the neck. I think I was somewhat fortunate to get a copy that didn't have a problem with that...

Gorgeous photos, desertdragon. You were able to bring out the Pfeiffer in her, even better than Sideshow's own pics!

Thank you so much HeubertMichael! I tried to keep it as simple as possible - she does all the work

You got a great camera and SS should borrow your pics to show off the statues instead of theirs. My head is on there the way you described yours but still I think SS should've used a long pin and peg to secure the head. I am waiting to go to walmart and get some 3M double sided tape to keep the head securely in place. I love this piece and I'm putting mine next to Keaton Bats.

Thank you Armymedic1980 - for the record, I'd take the SS photo gig in a heartbeat And I agree completely, they could have done just about ANYTHING to engineer a better connection for the head - you would think they would have just stuck with the longer peg / stronger magnet solutions they've used in pretty much every other SS piece I have - sigh... I'll probably do the same tape mod as you, or maybe some kind of silicon putty or something... But she's still a glorious statue, and I'm really happy to have her.

Still waiting on a replacement from my retailer. Had some small paint issues. I had a feeling this piece would be prone to them, with so much gloss black. It really is an amazing piece. She feels a bit larger for 1/4 scale, but it makes me love it more. I like the simplicity of her pose and the base. It is all around great. Probably the first piece that I just sit and observe.

Finally got mine! Its perfect, great paint job and there seems to be zero issue with the head magnet for me.

may they have noticed the problem and replaced with a stronger magnet.

I doubt it. I bought mine from 1 of their distributors and the solution SS gave to my distributor was 1- just leave it alone and the head will stay in place and not fall off. Seriously, that was it.

I have it downstairs and those photos look better! lol

does the figure's head able to attach to the body firmly?

Yes the magnet is holding the head ok without tweaks. But there certainly is room for improvement. When you touch it i can feel that its a bit wobbly. In my case i think the magnet is strong enough but the head doesnt fit the socket perfectly and that is the reason why the magnet has trouble holding it. Good enough for display but if i have to move the statue around i might take the head off first.

Just put mine up! It is well worth it! The head sits well but added some tape to neck part. All good!

having to add tape isn't too good in my opinion. honestly, at the price these things cost we should all demand more.

Agree 100%
No one should have to start improving pieces when they've spent hundreds of dollars on it already.
The fact that they are easily fixable is even worse.

HI guys

I am not sure if you are familiar with my work, I made a 1/6 scale catwoman custom figure

I was wondering if there would be any interest for an alternate head for this catwoman statue? I would rework my 1/6 scale head (it is in a digital format)

here is a mock up of how it could look (eyes would be painted in a different direction)

who would be interested?

 

[Iko Iko]

Depending on the cost, I may be interested.
